Best Tent Camping near Lyndonville, VT

The northeastern Vermont landscape surrounding Lyndonville offers several tent-only camping options within a short drive. Serenity Field provides walk-in tent sites with basic amenities including drinking water, toilets, and shower facilities. Just 25 miles south, Molly's Falls Pond State Park Campground features remote hike-in tent sites open from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend. For those seeking riverside camping, Lyman Falls State Park Campground, located north of Lyndonville along the Connecticut River, offers both boat-in and walk-in tent sites with vault toilets and fire rings.

Most tent campsites in the region feature natural surfaces ranging from forest duff to gravel pads. Campers should prepare for variable conditions, especially at primitive sites where amenities are minimal. At Lyman Falls, tent sites accommodate 2-5 tents depending on the specific site, with ample shade from large pine trees. Bear activity is common throughout the region, so proper food storage is essential. Many sites lack potable water, requiring campers to either carry in their supply or filter from nearby water sources. Seasonal access varies significantly, with most remote sites closed during winter and early spring due to snow and mud conditions.

According to reviews, Lyman Falls State Park offers a particularly quiet experience despite its proximity to the road. One camper noted, "While close to the road, it's not highly trafficked and the road noise is almost non-existent." The Connecticut River provides excellent opportunities for tent campers who enjoy fishing or paddling. At Maine Railroad Trestle, another boat-in tent camping area along the Connecticut River Paddlers Trail, visitors appreciate the flat tent sites and rocky beach access. Backcountry tent camping enthusiasts should be aware of ticks, particularly in grassy areas. The Scott C. Devlin Memorial site, described by one visitor as "well maintained and tucked on a knoll in a pine forest," offers composting toilets and ample flat space for tents.
